I have to wonder if McAffe’s major crime isn’t being Naïve
How many of us came here and lined up to drink the cool-aide
Some of us learn after getting sick just from the smell and are saved from drinking the whole cup.
I was friends with a woman who had a lucrative restaurant/bar/dive shop and every time any employee needed something she was very generous and would give freely. Of course the recipient would brag to everyone and then they would get jealous and want a piece of the money pie.
As she was leaving the island, very disillusioned (and drunk) she asked me “why when I was so good to them did they rob me blind.”
I told her that what it looked like to me was that she had no respect for money and threw it around and everybody wanted some. If she didn’t give it to them they just took it. I’m glad I was able to learn from her experience and have been saved a lot of heart ache.
I’ve heard stories (and you’ve read them too) how McAffe helped a lot of people, especially in the little town in Orange Walk where he built his home. It wasn’t long before there was a line of people with their hands. At what point do you say NO – and then what happens when you do
BTW – I’m happy to see people finally discussing this.
